Former Jersey Shore star Michael Sorrentino, better known as The Situation, agreed to attend anger management lessons while in court today.

Sorrentino, 31, will take the classes for 12 weeks as part of a deal to resolve simple assault charges he faced following a June 15 fight with his brother Frank at their family's tanning salon in Middletown Township, New Jersey.

A municipal court judge accepted the deal today and if Sorrentino successfully completes the counseling program, the charge against him could be downgraded.
